About the Artist

I came to painting later in life. I was a neuroscientist for many years, then established a business in medical communications. However, after a cancer diagnosis in 2020, I decided to pursue interests I had not yet allowed myself the time to explore. Principle among these was my love of art.

I regard the creation of art as an adventure. I initially let my mood guide my choice of colour, tool, and stroke. In this phase, there is no plan or expectation. It is simply a period of freedom, self-expression, and experimentation. An experience of living in the moment. A theme eventually emerges from the canvas and I switch from an intuitive mindset to a more purposeful one. This invariably brings on a phase of apprehension. I become hesitant to make any new changes, and the painting is often abandoned for a while until I find the courage to put brush back to canvas and finish the work.

I live in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. I take commissions.
